Interesting Roland item: Mark IV of their series of Sound Canvas keyboards, based on the GS-midi of their SC-50/SC-55 series. This SK-50iv has plenty of those quality Roland sounds of that generation, including drum kits.
Comes with compatible power supply (not original but fits fine, correct specs and enough power).
The SK-50iv has a couple of noteworthy features:
- the FAT button! it sounds like it adds a sub-osc as well as thickening. However it does it, the patch does indeed sound a lot FATTER! Such sounds can find a home even in todays' techno productions. Tho' there's no FAT option on the drum sounds.
- using the lowest black keys to summon pitch-bend & modulation adds a different kind of expressive play to what we're normally used to, quite moreish.
- onboard speakers, tho' honestly these don't sound great. Best to use the outputs.
Condition: all works as it should (speakers, keys etc), the housing has various wear & tear, even a couple of smaller cracks (see pics). The master-volume will only scratch if not used in ages, and then only a couple of times back-and-forth, after that it doesn't scratch.
Notes on use:
- the RCA-outputs don't use the master-volume-slider, so they have a fixed amp-volume-out. If you don't watch your levels the signal can distort easily. Personally we thought the module sounded better using a 6.3mm Y-cable going out of "PHONES-1": it was slightly noisier but more airy, more defined, and fit better in the mix. Using the phones-out means the master-volume-slider is active, you only need it set between 2-3 to get a clear strong signal.
- the "VARIATION" button comes into play for Bank 16 and the drum banks.
- the onboard Reverb/Chorus are ok, but for serious productions we would leave them off and use your preferred outboard/plugs.

If you discover a problem with the item which we didn't describe, then in this case we will pay the return postage.
